The recent form makes for sobering reading: a fifth, then an eleventh, then an eighth, then two pulls or non-completions, and a sixth last time out — just one day ago, so this is a horse very much still in training and still being aimed at races. That persistence from the yard is notable. E McNamara's operation in Rathkeale, Co. Limerick is clearly in decent shape this season, having sent out 22 winners, which makes Kilkee Bay something of an outlier in the string rather than a reflection of the yard's overall ability.
At seven, time is not necessarily on Kilkee Bay's side when it comes to a first win, but horses have broken duck at that age and beyond. For now, the honest summary is a horse that keeps turning up, keeps finishing races, and keeps giving its the yard something to work with — even if the winner's enclosure has remained stubbornly out of reach.
